Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Ren Yihang thought to himself: Now that things have come to this, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well end it all more thoroughly! So, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wife, the meeting a few days ago was actually to discuss the action plan. Our father, he was thinking about you wholeheartedly, and was afraid that you would be frightened by this, so he deliberately avoided you. Moreover, our father also said that he left a letter for you, which is on the desk in his study..."

Before she finished speaking, He Jiaran suddenly pushed open the door and rushed to He Yuzhu's study like a gust of wind. Her eyes were sharp, and as soon as she stepped into the study, she saw the thick family letter lying quietly on the desk.

He Jiaran took two steps at a time and walked forward quickly, holding the letter tightly in her hand. Then, she couldn't wait to open the envelope and unfold the letter paper, and lines of familiar and friendly handwriting came into her eyes.

"Jia Ran, Daddy has to go out for a few days, so the trip might be a little long. But don't worry, when Daddy is not at home, you have to be obedient and help Daddy take care of the stalls at home. When Daddy comes back, he will bring lots of delicious food for my baby daughter!"

After reading this, He Jiaran's eyes were instantly moistened, her nose felt sore, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She couldn't help but wipe her eyes gently with her hands, sobbing and muttering to herself: "Dad, why do you still treat me like a child? I'm already so old! Humph, I'm really angry this time, even if you come back, I won't pay attention to you!"

Seeing his wife's face changing from crying to laughing, Ren Yihang was really scared. Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, the guard at the door ran over and shouted, "Brother Ren, there are three people at the door looking for you! They introduced themselves as your mother-in-law and your brother and sister-in-law!"

When Ren Yihang heard the news, an ecstatic smile instantly broke out on his face, and even his voice trembled with excitement: "Wife, our mother and He Shun are here! Let's go and greet them!" As he said that, he took He Jiaran's hand and prepared to go out.

He Jiaran was concentrating on reading the letter in her hand at this time. Suddenly, when she heard Ren Yihang say this, she turned around abruptly and asked in disbelief: "Ren Yihang, are you serious? You are not trying to fool me?" She widened her eyes and stared at Ren Yihang's face, as if trying to find a clue from his expression.

Ren Yihang nodded vigorously and answered firmly: "Wife, is this true? Xiao Gu just came to tell me, and they are already outside the gate!" Seeing that He Jiaran still looked suspicious, Ren Yihang quickly added: "If you don't believe it, you will know when you go out and take a look for yourself later!"

After receiving a positive reply, He Jiaran no longer cared to continue reading the letter. She stuffed the letter into her pocket and ran towards the gate like a happy little deer without looking back. Ren Yihang, who was lagging behind, saw this and quickly took big steps to catch up, but no matter how hard he ran, he was always half a beat slower than He Jiaran.

Not long after, the two arrived at the gate one after the other. He Jiaran saw her mother standing there, her eyes suddenly reddened, and her grievances poured out like a flood. She ran to her mother in two steps, crying and complaining: "Mom, my dad actually ran away to take risks again without saying a word, and this time he kept it a secret from me from beginning to end, it's really too much!" After that, she threw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed.

When Lou Xiao'e heard that He Yuzhu was going on an adventure again, her heart suddenly tightened, and worry surged into her heart like a tide. However, after so many years of ups and downs, she had already learned how to deal with this situation. Although she was uneasy in her heart, she still appeared quite calm on the surface. She gently hugged He Jiaran beside her and comforted her softly: "Jiaran, don't worry too much. Your father is blessed with a good life and will definitely return safely. We still have to take care of our own lives first. Look, your brother and sister-in-law and I haven't had any food yet!"

He Jiaran's tearful face instantly blossomed into a smile, as bright as the sun after the rain. She said coquettishly, "Oh, Mom, look at what you said! Even if we starve anyone, we can never starve you and our family's great hero - Minghui! Come on, I'll take you to eat the delicious sauerkraut stuffed buns, the taste is simply amazing, I guarantee it will make you drool!"

He Shun, who had been standing in the corner without a sense of existence, finally couldn't hold back his temper when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister, you are too partial! Why are you only thinking about mom and Minghui? Am I not a part of this family? I am such a grown-up standing here, and you actually turn a blind eye to me? It really hurts my heart!"

He Jiaran rolled his eyes at He Shun unhappily, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he responded with a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, now you know how to show off your presence? Okay, then I'll reluctantly take you with me. But I have to warn you, don't be like our dad in the future, running around all day, doing things that make people nervous, and having no sense of responsibility at all!"

He Shun would never dare to answer this! If his father knew that he had said bad things about him behind his back, he would be the one who would be in big trouble! So, He Shun's eyes rolled around and he quickly changed the subject: "Sister, where is the super delicious big bun you just mentioned? Oh my, my saliva is almost flowing out, I'm really greedy!"

How could He Jiaran not see through her brother's little thoughts? After all, she watched He Shun grow up little by little, and she knew all the little calculations in this little guy's mind.

He Jiaran rolled his eyes and said to He Shun with disdain: "Humph, look at your lack of ability, you are just a coward! You should be starved so that you can learn your lesson!"

He Jiaran also knew that her mother and the others must not have eaten well along the way, so she put her arm around Lou Xiaoe with one hand and Wang Minghui with the other, and the three of them walked towards the cafeteria while talking and laughing.
